✦✦✦✦ Squeak Eliminated✦✦✦✦

Sar'ika looks up as she senses something, but the amount of people in the city makes it hard for her to concentrate, "You okay?"

Finn raises a brow at her far off look, shaking her head to snap herself out of the trance she was in she nods, "Yeah, I'm good."

D-O slowly rolls over to them, being cautious of Finn, "Squeaky wheel. I-I have a squeaky wheel."

Sar'ika smiles, "Can Rey fix that?" She asks.

Rey stands behind him with the oil canister she had used early that day to fix his head that had been stuck in place. The girl smiles kindly as she crouches and the droid nods, repeating the phrase to the scavenger.

He rolls back and forth as she finishes, "Squeak eliminated. Thank you. Very kind."

Sar'ika smiles watching D-O roll around with BB-8 as R3 stays beside the turned off C3-PO. "Something's not right about this." Rey says.

"Hmm?"

"I know where I've seen it. The ship he was on, Ochi's ship."

Finn and Sar'ika share a similar glance as Rey stares at the floor, "The day my parents left. They were on that ship."

She places a hand on Rey's shoulder as Finn asks, "Are you sure?"

"There's an incoming destroyer." Zorii announces as she and Poe return from the roof.

"We gotta go now," Poe yells walking around her to get to his friends, "Did we get it? Babu?"

"Yep! Droid is ready!"

Sar'ika finds herself awing at the small creature, "I want one."

"Absolutely not." Poe says crossing his arms.

C3-PO powers up, his eyes red and seems to stare directly at Sar'ika as she take a step back hitting into Poe's chest, his hands come up to rest on her shoulders squeezing slightly to release the tension.

"The Emperor's way finder is in the Imperial vault. At delta 3-6, transient 9-3-6, bearing 3-2 on a moon in the Endor system. From the southern shore. Only this blade tells. Only this bade tells."

He powers down, falling back against the chair he sits on as Babu celebrates by cheering.

Finn turns to the others, ignoring the cheers of the creature, "The Endor system."

"Please tell me it's not what I'm thinking." Sar'ika groans.

She's heard the stories of the battle of Endor form her Uncle Han, the place her mother almost lost her life years ago.

"Where the last war ended?"

There's a rumble making everyone look around, "Babu, get that droid up and running." Sar'ika orders as she follows Rey up the steps.

"Ren's destroyer." Rey calls down to the others.

The pair share a glance suddenly, that the others know all too well, it usually means something with the Force, and it's never good, the last time it happened was when Sar'ika accidently sensed something then shot Poe across the room, "Chewie?"

Rey looks at Sar'ika who nods her head desperately, "It's him."

"What about him?"

"He's alive."

"He's on Ren's ship."

"What?" Poe questions coming to the bottom of the steps and looking up at Sar'ika for answers, "How?"

Rey turns to look down the steps but Sar'ika's gaze is on the ship, "He's alive! He must've been on a different transport ship."

"Your friends on the sky trash?" Zorii asks turning to Poe.

Poe nods, his gaze still on Sar'ika who isn't looking at the ship, she's looking at the figures of the Knights of Ren in the distance, weaving through the crowds.

"Djarin?"

"The Knights."

"What?" Poe asks furrowing his brows.

Not removing her gaze form them she tilts her head, "The Knights of Ren, they're here, they followed us."

Threepio scares them as he whirs to life, "Might I introduce myself, I am C3-PO, human-cyborg relations. And you are?"

"Okay, that's gonna be a problem."

Poe looks back up at Sar'ika who is slowly moving towards the open door, her hard gaze set on the Knights, "Djarin, I have a stun setting on this blaster, and I'm not afraid to use it, get your ass back in here now."

"I can hold them off, you can get Chewie."

"Nope, we can get Chewie, if you get inside so we can make a plan."

"Hello. I Babu Frik." The creature says peering up at the protocol droid and interrupting the argument bound to happen.

"Why, hello!"
